Radio 4 investigation sheds new light on a major subject that has
received little historical attention, the conspiracy on behalf of a

conspirators were operating under the umbrella of a front group called
the American Liberty League, which included many families that are
still household names today, including Heinz, Colgate, Birds Eye and
General Motors.
Butler played along with the clique to determine who was involved but later blew the whistle and identified the ringleaders in testimony given to the House Committee on un-American Activities.
